After one month of their engagement their marriage date was set. And in that one month Shivaay and Anika had a lot of chances to meet up but then...

~~~

“Whats happening here?”Shivaay questioned as he entered the kitchen and saw the group of girls
“Bade Bhaiyaaa”Saumya raised her head and immediately turned around
“No bhaiya aap andar nahi aasakte”Prinku said looking at her bhaiya
“Why? Why I can't come in?”Shivaay said standing at the entrance
“We need to take Anika from here. Anika chalo. Stand up”Ishana said to Anika who was once again was sitting on the counter in her yellow coloured mayon/mehendi dress eating the puris with her mehendi filled hands
“Ask Shivaay to go from here or close his eyes. I am hungry”Anika stubbornly looked at the girls
“Tameez se chal Anika”Sanjana scolded her in her friendly style
“Why I can't see Anika? I haven't seen her from 2 days”Shivaay took a step forward and tried to look at Anika but Ishana pulled her down at once
“You can't see her bade bhaiya. That's a ritual. See her tomorrow on wedding day ”Saumya cleared to Shivaay whose face fell off listening that he have to wait for one more day.
Sliding down Anika's dupatta on her face making a veil the girls took her out from the kitchen with much difficulty.

Shivaay sighed!
One more day
He thought and started looking for nothing in the kitchen

~~~

Anika was sitting infront of the mirror half ready.

Today was the day of my life every girl dream of. Parents want their daughter to see her in this attire. And here I am, my parents left me. Even my bhaiyaa left me

Tears were spilling on her cheeks and were making their way down her neck

Sanjana came in the room and saw her crying. She smiled at how much her jiju cared for her sister

Flashback:

Sanjana was climbing the stairs to get into the room when Shivaay stopped her
“Yes Jiju”She questioned him
“Sanjana I wanted to say something”He said making her confuse“U are so close to Anika so I am going to say this from you. Sanjana Agar Anika aaj rona chahye tou please...”
“Usse rokna mat aur rone dena! Yehi na jiju?”Sanjana completed Shivaay's words
“How'd u know?”Shivaay asked
“Jiju...that's what Anika said to me one time. And I do remember this. I don't know if she had told u too but fikar not I'll handle her”She smiled amd explained things to her
Shivaay nodded in a yes amd moved to his room

Sanjana moved stood in the center of the room and called her out
“Anika?”
Anika turned and looked at Sanjana for few moments. Anika then ran towards Sanjana and engulfed her in a tight hug
“If u want to cry then cry Anika. Ur sister is here”Sanjana said caressing her hairs
In a moment Anika's weeps changed into cries and then into loud sobs
“My parents left me Sanjana...Bhaiyaa left me...”Anika said between her sobs which wasn't decreasing “My....”Anika wasn't able to say further, her words stayed in her mouth
“U won't leave me na Sanjana? Mujhe chor kar tou nahi jao gi na tum? Meri behen mujhe chore gi tou nahi na?”Anika broke the hug and asked her breathing unevenly
Tumhari behen tumhe kabhi nahi chore gi Anika, kabhi nahi. Jaanti ho tumhari behen tumse bohat zaida bohat bohat bohat zaida pyaar karti hai aur wo bhi tumhare baghair nahi reh sakti”Sanjana made her clear with her palms resting on Anika's cheeks
Anika smiled weakly through her tears and hugged her again
“I know Maa Papa loved me so much and bhaiya wo tou mujhse bohat pyaar karte thay phir mujhe chor kar kyn gaye?”Anika questioned Sanjana
“Wo tumhe kabhi chor kar nahi gaye. Bhala wo apni jaan to kaise chor dete? Hmm? Batao?”Sanjana broke the hug and made her understand “Pata hai wo kahan hain? Yahan...”Sanjana pointed on Anika's heart “Idhar hain wo sab. Aur jo dil mae hotay hain wo kabhi door nahi hotay. Wo aapkay paas apkey pal pal saath hote hain.”Sanjana explained Anika wiping away her tears “acha hua tha tumhara makeup nahi hua tha warna abhi churail lagti tum”She pinched Anika's nose
Anika glared her and then hugged her tightly
“I LOVE YOU JANEMAN”Anika said
“I HATE YOU TOO JAAN!”Sanjana bit her lip controlling her smile but heard Anika's giggles “Now jaldi jaldi get ready!”
Sanjana broke the hug and dragged her infront of mirror to get her ready
